Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a sealed container in which different types of contents can be stored separately within the same container. Many foods and drinks, especially alcoholic cocktails, must be mixed immediately before use.

This invention allows the contents that must be mixed immediately before use as described above to be stored separately in the same container, and the contents that were stored separately can be mixed as soon as the container is opened. A two-chamber sealed container consisting of a lid made of a material, a small container that is in contact with the lid at the end, and a container body, the small container being made of a semi-rigid to hard material and whose upper end fits into the upper end of the container body. It is assembled, fused, glued, or seamed, and there is a break section at the bottom when the package is opened.
The broken part is a temporary bonded part made by an adhesive in a cut provided at the bottom of the small container, or a temporarily joined part made by a joining member in the cut, and a part of the lid or the upper end of the small container is extended and the opening handle is extended. It is a two-chamber sealed container.

As mentioned above, the present invention breaks the broken part of the small container on the bottom surface of the lid by bending or bending when opening due to the flexibility of the lid itself, and the contents stored in the small container are transferred into the container body. It is dropped and mixed with the contents inside the container body.

The container body of this invention can be made of paper, plastic, metal,
The small container may be made of any conventionally known material such as glass, and the small container may have a shape in which the end portion fits, fuses, adheres or seams to the main body of the container, such as hemispherical,
Any container shape such as a cylindrical shape or a conical shape may be used. The material for such a small container must have a rigidity higher than that of the broken part and be somewhat resistant to deformation, and examples include semi-hard to hard plastic, aluminum, or plastic-aluminum composite. The temporary adhesive area, which is the broken part of the small container, is made of plastic, wax, or rubber adhesive, or an adhesive that is inert to the contents, such as laminate or pressure-sensitive adhesive tape, to prevent the contents from mixing with each other. It is acceptable as long as the adhesive has a slight degree of adhesion and can be removed with a slight force when opening the package. Such temporary adhesion may be performed on either one side or both sides. Further, the temporary joint may be a temporary joint in which the cut ends are joined by a joining member as shown in FIG. 6, and the joining member is easily removed by the force when opening the package.

The lid may be made of flexible material such as plastic, aluminum, or plastic-aluminum composite; if the small container has a shape that fits into the upper end of the container body, the lid may be secured to the upper end of the container body or It is necessary to have a shape that can be fused, and the end of the small container must be fused or glued so that the opening handle at one end of the lid can be lifted and the small container can be lifted up at the same time. It is necessary to be united in other ways. On the other hand, if the end of the small container is seamed, fused, or glued to the top of the container body, the lid may simply cover the top of the small container; The lid may be attached to the upper end of the container, or may be a lid that can be fitted or screwed into a lid mounting portion provided in a raised manner on the upper surface of the end of the small container, as shown in FIG.

Furthermore, in any of the above cases, in order to ensure that the small container breaks when opened, a portion of the lid or the upper part of the small container is extended as an opening handle to clearly indicate the opening point. A handle ring is attached to the opening handle if necessary.

In addition, in order to prevent the small container from breaking excessively when opened and completely dividing the small container into two, the cut end is made T-shaped or circular so that the cut provided in the small container does not spread beyond the intended part. It is preferable to perform temporary adhesion or temporary bonding in the same way as for the cuts.

Next, the present invention will be explained in detail with reference to the drawings. 1 to 4 are a plan view, a schematic vertical cross-sectional view, a schematic cross-sectional view for explaining when the container is opened, and an enlarged view of a broken portion, respectively, of the sealed container according to the present invention. The container body 2 is made of glass, and has a groove 7 on the inner surface of the upper end into which the end portion of the small container, that is, the fused portion 11 fits, and a bulge 8 on the outer surface of the upper end that fits the fitting portion of the lid 1. ing. Lid body 1
is made of plastic-aluminum composite material, and has a fitting portion 9 formed on its outer periphery, and a handle 6 and a handle ring 6' attached to one end. The lower part of the small container is divided into two parts 3 and 4 by a cut, and parts 3 and 4 are made of the same material, a semi-hard plastic-aluminum composite, and a wax-based adhesive 1 is applied at the broken part 5.
0, and the upper end forms a fused portion 11 with the back surface of the lid 1, forming a hemispherical small container.
In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, when the handle 6 and handle ring 6' are lifted and opened, the lid 1 is bent or bent together with the small container (only the bending is shown in the figure). At this time, since the lid fitting part on the opposite side of the handle is still fitted together with the end of the small container, the small container is difficult to deform even though force is applied to the bottom of the small container, so there is a weak point, that is, the broken part 5. When the container is broken, the contents B fall into the contents A of the container body, and the two contents are mixed. After mixing, the lid 1 and the small container can be removed from the container body.

FIGS. 5 and 6 are a schematic vertical cross-sectional view and an enlarged view of a broken portion showing other embodiments. In this embodiment, the end portion 12 of the small container is wound around the upper end of the container body 2, and the end portion of the lid 1 is fused to the upper end of the small container. The broken part 5 may be a temporarily bonded part with adhesive as in the case of FIG. It may be a temporary joint in which the end portions are inserted and fitted. The joining member 13 can be easily removed by lifting the end of the small container when opening the container.

Figure 7 shows that the end of the small container is seamed and fused to the container body.
It is a partial cross-sectional schematic diagram which shows an example of another aspect of attachment of a lid body in case it adheres. As shown in FIG.
If necessary, a screw thread on the outer surface of the raised portion 14 and a groove matching the screw thread may be provided on the inner surface of the downward flange 15.

Since the present invention has the above-described structure, the contents that were previously stored separately can be mixed together as soon as the package is opened. Therefore, it has the advantage that the ingredients can be mixed in the same container immediately before use.
